Research topics

Development of surface acoustic wave-based (bio)chemical microsensors integrated with electronic control and signal processing. Study of elastic wave propagation and their interaction with liquid or gaseous medium. Integration of innovative structured materials as sensitive recognition films (polymers, hybrid, meso- nano-structured, biomaterials, etc.). Integration with microfluidic chips. Applications to the detection of chemical or biological species and to dynamic characterization of thin-film materials and complex fluids at high frequencies. Recent contributions are in RF microsensors on flexible substrates with nanostructured carbonated materials, polymeric optical microring resonator and digital microfluidic for application in detection of environmental analytes. Emerging field of research is on wireless solutions for micro-energy of which a new project on wireless communication platform for biomedical implants.

Major fields of application : health, environment, energy.

These research works are conducted within the team MDA [1]: Acoustic wave based and innovative Detection Microsystems, as part of the group WAVES (« ONDES [2]») which targets smart, multi-technology, communicating and sustainable wave-based devices and systems.
